ENID, OKLAHOMA. THURSDAY. AUGUST 1, 1912
No. 42
WHY REPUBLICANS SHOULD WORK FOR
AND VOTE FOR HOME FOR SHERIFF
Hume has had but one term-and decency and fairness in politics require that an hon-
est official be given a second renomination by his party. Hume has made good He has
done well. Nobody ever did half so good as sheriff.
Hume is a good citizen, a good Republican, the father of a large family and a poor
man who needs the office and who does not own several farms and an automobile as does
his opponent, Mr Hare. If Hare loses he is yet rich and will not be hurt. If Hume loses
Jie does so at the expense of his private finances, the interests of his family and fairness and
f ecency in politics. ; %•'
Because Mr. Hare does not care for the office on his own account, but was forced into
the race by the factional enemies of Hume and because of the persuasion of leading- Demo
cratic politicians. s
Because Charles V. Porter, Secretary of the County Election Board, a leading Demo-
cratic politician, the guardian of'Green Mitchell—a man who would like to disfranchise
every Republican white or black—is secretly managing Mr. Hare's campaign. Porter hates
Hume for personal reasons and wants him defeated for a nomination knowing that he
would be unable to defeat him in the election.
Because the said C. V. Porter bet $25.00 with one Bud Wright that Hume would not
be nominated. A politician always bets according to his interests, and not on his iude-
ment, just to try to influence votes.
^efaUS\reryi h°/Se ,thi6f' eVCry protector of ilorse thieves. every man who has reaped
profits from the sale of stolen horses are one and all bitterly opposed to Hume,
Because Mr. Hare, while holding the position of Republican County Central Commit-
teeman for Patterson township at the 1910 election, openly worked for the election of Sam
Campbell, Democratic nominee, against Ellsworth Hume, Republican nominee. Because
Mr. Hare, at the same 1910 election, used all his endeavors to defeat L. W Lyons Repub-
hcan nominee for commissioner, and did defeat Mr. Lyons, now deceased. Mr Lyons was
defeated by 19 votes and Hare's work against him easily amounted to more votes than
tnat.
Because Mr. Hare is trying to use his lodge memberships to secure votes—which is
contrary to the principles of all lodges.
Because Ed Shields, a Democratic candidate for sheriff, has been actively soliciting
votes for C. N. Hare, on the republican ticket, instead of working for himself. Shields is
Porter's lieutenant.
Because all Democratic politicians, who take orders from C. V. Porter, are fighting
Hume with all their power—and no Republican cares to tolerate dictations from the men
who have made such a mess of Oklahoma alfairs. ? ^. * r.- <
Because Chas J. West, Attorney General and the whole Democratic state administra-
tion united in persecuting Hume during the grand jury session last winter.
Because Hume has been tireless in his pursuit of criminals, going into many states and
spending his own money in his enthusiastic endeavors to fulfill his oath of office
Because Hume believes in Fair Play, Manly Honor and Decency
Because of the enemies Hume has made while sheriff.
PLAYGROUND SITE
IS NOW SELECTED
City Commissioners Grant Commit-
tee Old Pumping Station Lo-
cation.
A location for the public play
ground was selected yesterday when
the city commissioners gave their
consent to the use of the old water
pumping station at Fourth and East
Broadway. The matter of a site
which has been puzzling the com-
mittee in chal-ge of the movement
was finally settled. This committee
visited the city commissioners yes-
terday and upon presenting their
proposition the location was granted
by unanimous consent.
The grounds which are centrally
located will be cleared in the very
near future and the place fitted up
with apparatus so that it will be suit-
able for use. The committee feels
that the lay of the land will aid them
materially in their work as there is
sufficient shade, plenty of ground
and well suited in every way for the
work which they have in hand.
When cleared of trash and rubbish
the site will be fitted up with swings,
ladders and other apparatus and the
play of the youngsters will be care-
fully watched over by competent
supervisors.
Another mass meeting to arouse
interest In the movement will be
called within a short time.

El Paso. Tex., Aug. 1.—Scores ol
messages have been sent to Wash-
ington from El Paso and other bord-
er towns, appealing to the United
States to take some steps which will
secure protection for Americans in
Mexico.
ln many instances messages are
being, sent in the names of entire
communities as in the case of one
from Marfa yesterday addressed to
Congressman W. R. Smith. The
message said:
"If the United States can not han-
dle the Mexican situation, let Presi-
dio County handle It."
The appeals In most cases are be
ing sent to congressmen and Bena'
tors, but some have been directed to
the White House.

the American people to act. If the
Mexican government is unable and
the United States is unwilling to pro-

Oklahoma City, July 31.—Several
representatives of publishing houses
attempted to call on Governor Cruce
at his office today for the purpose
of talking with him in regard to the
contracts awarded them by the
state board of education for school
text books. None of theni were suc-
csssful as the governor had given
orders that he did not care to even
discuss the matter, that, the meet-
ing was held after three members
of the board had been discharged
by him and that the entire proced-
ure was irregular.
It Is believed that a representative
of one concern did succeed in see
ing the governor for a few minutes
but he admitted that he had
ceived no satisfaction. The appoint-
ment of successors to Dunlop, (Hen,
and Hayes were not made Wednes-
day and W. A. Brandenburg did not
say whether he would accept the
governor's invitation to remain on
the board or not. Brandenburg's
office was thronged all day by rep-
resentatives of school book concerns
who did not suc ceed in-getting con-
tracts and who hope that the adop-
tion will be abrogated and that
Brandenburg will be a power In an-
other adoption.

Washington, Aug. 1.—President
Taft was formally notified today of
his nomination by the national re-
publican convention at Chicago,
Surrounded by his family and
friends in the historic east room of
the White House, the President re-
ceived from Senator Ellhu Root,
chairman of the committee of notifi-
cation, his first official Information
of the convention's action.
"I accept the nomination which
you tender," replied President Taft,
beginning his speech of acceptance.
"I accept it as an expression of con-
fidence that in a second administra-
tion I will serve the public well."
"Your title to the nomination is as
clear and unimpeachable as the title
of any candidate since political con-
ventions began."
That was the keynote of fixator
Ellhu Root's addreBB to Pieiildent
Taft here today when, at c hairman
of the committee of notification, he
formally advised the President of his
nomination by the Chicago conven-
tion.
"The committee of notification,'
said Senator Root, "here present. has
the honor to advise you formally
that on the 22nd day of .Tune, last,
you were regularly and duly nomin-
ated by the national convention of
the republican party to be the re-
publican candidate for president of
the term beginning Maroh <t, J 913
"For the second time in the his
tory of the republican party a part
of the delegates have refused to be
bound by the action of the conven-
tion. Now, as on the former occas-
ion, the irreconcilable minority de
Clares its intention to support either
your democratic opponent, or a third
candidate. The reason assigned for
this course is dissatisfaction with
t/he decision of certain contests I
the making up of the temjoiary r-
of the convention. Those contests
were decided by the tribunal upon
which the law that has governed the
'republican party for more than forty
years Imposed the duty cf deciding
such contests.
"So long as those decisions were
made honestly and ln good faitJi all
persons were bound to accept them
as consluslve In the making up of
the temporary roll of the (onvention
and neither in the facts and argu-
ments produced before the national
committee, the committee on ore-
details and the convention Itself,
nor otherwise, does there appear
just ground for Impeaching the hon-
esty and good faith of the commit-
tee's deeisjons. Both the making up
of the temporary roll anc! he liehts
accorded to the persons upon tiiat
roll were in accordance with the
long established and unquestioned
rules of law governing the i ■ rty."
T.R. ELECTORS TOBE

SAS BALLOT
Supreme Court Justices Grant Wiit
of Error—Now t p to Full Su-
preme Bench.
New York, Aug 1.—A writ of
error was grantee here tonight by
Justices Van Devanter and I ituey of
the supreme court of the United
States ln the Kansas eases in regard
to the Roosevelt candidates lor pres-
idential electors and It was decided
to leave a final decision to the full
bench at the next regular session.
Tills allows the name ot I lie eight
Roosevelt electors from Kansas to
go on the primary ballot although It
may be afterwards decided that they
cannot run as republicans.
The application for a writ of err-
or, was made by the Taft attorneys
to Supreme Court Justice Mahlon
Pitney.
Justice Pitney believed that the
Importance of the dispute made it
desirable that other members of the
court should Bit with him, and there
fore Justice Willis Vandevanter sat
with Justice Pitney at the hearing
today.
Mr. Olmstead who opened the ar-
gument laid stress upon the fact that
if the Roosevelt men were allowed
to Btay on the primary ballot the
citizens who signed the petition put-
ting them there would be deprived
of their right of free choice. Tljla
was so, he said, because the Kansas
law did not permit citizens to voto
for candidates other than those
whose petitions they signed.
The Daily Eagle contains
a testimonial as to Candi-
date Hare's good character
signed by several of his
neighbors
This is indeed generous
of the neighbors.
It reminds us that any
bunch of manly men will
even attest the good char-
acter of a fallen woman,
thus to save her trouble.
Not that they approve
of her waywardness, but
that they remember the
generosity of the Savior on
a like occasion.

Mr. Ilayea has had considerable
experience in public matters. He al-
ways has his eyes open and his wits
alert. This is verified when v. e re-

failed while Mr. Hayes ws.s County
Treasurer. And by sheer foi ce, of
his loyalty and foresight he. ',-ved
the county $23,000 which wes de-
